ABSTRACT. In this article we present a point of view that highlights the importance of finding the upper bounds for prime gaps, in order to solve the twin primes conjecture and the Goldbach conjecture. For this purpose, we present a…

Let $G$ be a compact Lie group. Suppose $g_1, \dots, g_k$ are chosen independently from the Haar measure on $G$. Let $\mathcal{A} = \cup_{i \in [k]} \mathcal{A}_i$, where, $\mathcal{A}_i := \{g_i\} \cup \{g_i^{-1}\}$. Let…

Point configurations have been widely used as model systems in condensed matter physics, materials science and biology. Statistical descriptors such as the $n$-body distribution function $g_n$ is usually employed to characterize the point…

Finite-precision floating point arithmetic unavoidably introduces rounding errors which are traditionally bounded using a worst-case analysis. However, worst-case analysis might be overly conservative because worst-case errors can be…

The famous Erd\H{o}s distinct distances problem asks the following: how many distinct distances must exist between a set of $n$ points in the plane? There are many generalisations of this question that ask one to consider different spaces…

We study the distribution of closed geodesics for the modular surface. We improve the error term in the prime geodesic theorem, and obtain results on prime geodesics in very short intervals conditionally on the generalized Riemann…

Let $p$ be a odd prime such that 2 is a primitive element of finite field $F_p*$. In this short note we propose a new algorithm for the computation of discrete logarithm in $F_p*$. This algorithm is based on elementary properties of finite…

Belief propagation (BP) is an iterative method to perform approximate inference on arbitrary graphical models. Whether BP converges and if the solution is a unique fixed point depends on both the structure and the parametrization of the…

We study exact confidence intervals and two-sided hypothesis tests for univariate parameters of stochastically increasing discrete distributions, such as the binomial and Poisson distributions. It is shown that several popular methods for…

We establish uniform error bounds of the L1 discretization of the Caputo derivative of H\"older continuous functions. The result can be understood as: error = (degree of smoothness - order of the derivative). We present an elementary proof…

In this paper we obtain a new lower bound on the Erd\H{o}s distinct distances problem in the plane over prime fields. More precisely, we show that for any set $A\subset \mathbb{F}_p^2$ with $|A|\le p^{7/6}$, the number of distinct distances…

Most implementations of sampling algorithms for continuous distributions use floating-point numbers, which introduce round-off errors and approximations. These errors can be difficult to analyze, and can cause security issues when used in…
